swollen uvula

i’m day 12 post op and the pain has pretty much gone away, but the back of my throat still feels very swollen and raw. Just today a few minutes ago looked at the back of my throat and noticed how swollen my uvula is, and i was wondering when it would go back to normal. i’ve read some horror stories on here about people having to get their uvula removed after a tonsillectomy due to the swelling not going down so i’m a little anxious. it’s not choking me or making it hard to breathe but my voice is still weird. so for anyone who’s healed up, how long did it take for your uvula to return to normal?
